Click for pdf: Approach to Pediatric abdominal pain General Presentation BACKGROUND Abdominal pain in a child is one of the most common presentations with both trivial and life-threatening etiologies, ranging from functional pain to acute appendicitis. constipation), but it is This is also called Testicular torsion. Testicular torsion usually presents with an acute onset of diffuse testicular pain and tenderness of less than 6 hrs of duration. The most common symptom is acute testicular pain and the most common underlying cause, a bell-clapper deformity. The cremasteric reflex is rarely intact in patients with testicular torsion but is usually present in patients with torsion of a testicular appendix. Testicular torsion usually has a sudden onset of acute scrotal pain which can radiate to the lower abdomen. A patient with testicular torsion will have a: positive cremasteric reflex on the affected side. It is the most common congenital defect involving male genitalia. negative cremasteric reflex bilaterally. The normal response is an immediate contraction of the cremaster muscle that pulls up the testis ipsilaterally (on the same side of the body). Testicular torsion is an emergency. An exaggerated cremasteric reflex can simulate cryptorchidism. It is not the same as testicular torsion.It is not a medical emergency like testicular torsion.Time is of the essence for untwisting a testicular torsion: It CREMASTERIC REFLEX Elicited by lightly stroking the superior, medial thigh Normal reflex is contraction of the cremaster muscle causing the ipsilateral testicle to rise It is most commonly absent in testicular torsion While its absence adds to The testicle may be higher than usual in the scrotum and vomiting may occur. An exaggerated cremasteric reflex can simulate cryptorchidism. Testicular torsion is one of the few emergency conditions of the scrotum. It causes the muscle to contract and the testes to elevate. It causes the muscle to contract and the testes to elevate. Click Here for the Correct Answer with an explanation! However, in severe cases, palpation may be difficult due to scrotal oedema. There is often an absent or decreased cremasteric reflex, the testicle is elevated, and often is horizontal. Epididymis inflammation. Testicular torsion usually has a sudden onset of acute scrotal pain which can radiate to the lower abdomen. Torsion accounts for about 20% of childhood emergency department visits for acute scrotal pain. The testicle may be higher than usual in the scrotum and vomiting may occur. Testicular torsion, or twisted testicle, can be extremely painful. a positive cremasteric reflex bilaterally. Click for pdf: Approach to Pediatric abdominal pain General Presentation BACKGROUND Abdominal pain in a child is one of the most common presentations with both trivial and life-threatening etiologies, ranging from functional pain to acute appendicitis. Other clinical findings may include: In early torsion, the spermatic cord may be palpated. However, in severe cases, palpation may be difficult due to scrotal oedema. It is the most common congenital defect involving male genitalia. This can lead to strangulation of the testicular artery, resulting in necrosis of the testis. There is often an absent or decreased cremasteric reflex, the testicle is elevated, and often is horizontal. The cremasteric reflex is a response to light stroking of the inner thigh. The most common symptom in children is sudden, severe testicular pain. To evaluate this, it requires a meticulous physical exam. This is also called Testicular torsion. Individuals may also experience nausea and vomiting. It may develop in multiple regions such as axillae, palms, soles and craniofacial [13] and usually appears during childhood with an estimated prevalence of 3% [2, 5]. It is a medical emergency. If you have experienced any testicular trauma at all, especially testicular torsion caused by a twisting of the testicles, have it checked because it is a testicle-threatening problem. The majority of pediatric abdominal complaints are relatively benign (e.g. Tenderness to palpation at the epididymis, superior and posterolateral to Testicle; Epididymis is enlarged and indurated; Adjacent scrotal and testicular inflammation may occur with Testicular Torsion or infection.

The cremasteric reflex is usually absent in testicular torsion 5 and, therefore, the presence of the cremasteric reflex implies epididymitis rather than torsion. Often confused with testicular torsion. Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency, where the spermatic cord twists upon itself. Testicular tenderness (present in torsion and epididymo-orchitis). Testicular torsion is a time-dependent diagnosis, a true urologic emergency, and early evaluation can assist in urologic intervention to prevent testicular loss. negative cremasteric reflex bilaterally. This reflex is elicited by lightly stroking or poking the superior and medial (inner) part of the thighregardless of the direction of stroke.

If you have experienced any testicular trauma at all, especially testicular torsion caused by a twisting of the testicles, have it checked because it is a testicle-threatening problem. The cremasteric reflex also happens during sexual intercourse. Epididymis inflammation. But it can twist and cause pain and swelling that gets worse over time. Testicles have two important jobs in the body. If there is pain relieved by elevation of the testicle, this is called Prehn's sign, which is, however, non-specific and is not useful for diagnosis. constipation), but it is Drag here to reorder. They are part of two Spermatic cord torsion. A common cause of testicular torsion is spasm of the cremasteric muscle fibres which then force the testicle to spin around its own cord. It requires immediate referral to a surgeon; Surgical evaluation should be undertaken in all cases where testicular torsion cannot be confidently excluded; Ultrasound should only be considered in selected cases of testicular pain, after surgical assessment, to avoid delays in management It is a medical emergency. It needs urgent medical attention to restore blood flow and prevent loss of the testicle. Other clinical findings may include: In early torsion, the spermatic cord may be palpated.

A patient with testicular torsion will have a: positive cremasteric reflex on the affected side. Absent cremasteric reflex: this is performed by stroking the inner thigh to elicit whether the L1/2 spinal reflex causes an upward movement of the scrotal contents.
